Veterans Affairs provides a comprehensive network of federal programs, services, and benefits designed to support veterans and their families throughout every stage of post-service life. From healthcare and mental health resources to disability compensation, home loans, education benefits, and community reintegration programs, the VA remains the primary pathway for veterans seeking assistance. Many veterans face challenges navigating the complex systems and requirements associated with the VA. The Forgotten Veteran format simplifies this process by providing direct-access blue-line hyperlinks, phone numbers, office locations, and key referral contacts—all in one consolidated section.

This expanded Section 8 includes Veterans Affairs Regional Offices, Medical Centers, Vet Centers, accredited Veteran Service Officers (VSOs), the NYC Department of Veterans’ Services, crisis lines, PACT Act resources, and benefits application portals. Veterans and service providers can use this directory to streamline access to core services and ensure proper documentation is completed for housing, disability claims, employment programs, supportive housing applications, and healthcare enrollment. Staying updated and engaged with the VA is essential for maintaining eligibility and accessing earned benefits. This directory empowers every veteran to pursue the support, stability, and well‑being they deserve.
